President Arthur vetoes Anti-Chinese immigration bill
The April 4 veto message rejects Congress bill No. 7 to regulate Chinese immigration, arguing the act breaches Burlingame treaty obligations. The president urges modification and seeks a balanced approach under new treaty terms with China to regulate laborer entry and residence without absolute prohibition.
